GABLER RESEARCH Entrepreneurship Herausgegeben von Professor Dr. Malte Brettel, RWTH Aachen, Professor Dr. Lambert T. Koch, Universität Wuppertal, Professor Dr. Tobias Kollmann, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Campus Essen, Professor Dr. Peter Witt, Universität Dortmund
„Entrepreneurship“ ist ein noch relativ junger Forschungszweig, der jedoch in Wissenschaft und Praxis stetig an Bedeutung gewinnt. Denn Unternehmensgründungen und deren Promotoren nehmen für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung einen zentralen Stellenwert ein, so dass es nur folgerichtig ist, dem auch in Forschung und Lehre Rechnung zu tragen. Die Schriftenreihe bietet ein Forum für wissenschaftliche Beiträge zur Entrepreneurship-Thematik. Ziel ist der Transfer von aktuellen Forschungsergebnissen und deren Diskussion aus der Wissenschaft in die Unternehmenspraxis.

Foreword Every product has a life cycle, making constant renewal a core task of every business. This is especially true of German companies, which are typically forced to create a competitive advantage through being highly innovative rather than through low-cost production. It is, therefore, vital for these businesses to monitor and acknowledge the many academic findings in the field of innovation management. No easy task: there have been countless studies pertaining to innovation management, and it is often difficult to obtain clear and specific results. This is also partly due to the fact that such studies regularly come to different conclusions. For example, Larker (1997) is only able to identify a negative correlation between customer contributions and success in innovation, whereas Slater et al. (2007) conclude the exact opposite. The differences betwee
